Not one of mine...

Below is a great music video. I don't know who sings it, but it's in Spanish...or Esperanto. Anyway, the main point is that it's a video of people getting punched in the face, bellies getting slapped, and bottles getting broken over people's heads...IN SLOW MOTION! I know. I know. Pretty great. Even if you don't want to watch the whole thing, at least make it to the 1:05 mark.



Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. I should have some new "art" up soon.

Monday...

Here's my first post in a while. My friend Brad Carlson is putting together a website for me and I've been doing some art work for the backgrounds. This is probably going to be the home page. It'll have buttons to the left for navigation and I still need to do the site's title and put it above the characters. So it's still a work in progress and I'm toying with different colors and such, but you get the main idea.

Monsters Inc

Hey, it's been awhile, but I'm back. Gonna be a crazy few months ahead with school and studying, but I've had a good (if somewhat short) summer break and feel pretty refreshed and ready to go. Anyway, I drew this for Moe quite some time ago and just got around to coloring it with Illustrator. I ended up with two different versions: one with the normal black outlines and one with minimal outlines. I can't decide which one I like better. Also, the background leaves something to be desired. Hopefully in the future I can come up with something better for the backdrop.

Summer Vacation on Hoth

I've been studying my balls off for the National Board Dental Examination Part 1...quick nap...OK, but I've been daydreaming about what to do with my few weeks off afterward. This is mainly what it's looked like:

I'm sorry. I got nothin' today. My brain is fried. One thing (aside from my lovely girlfriend, who should continue to buy me ice cream and/or Bambino Burgers) is keeping me sane and it looks like this:





















...can't wait.

Stan Winston

I know I'm not related to this guy, wasn't a close friend of his, but for some reason felt compelled to post this. As a movie geek, I've always admired Stan Winston, who passed away Sunday. He's the man behind some of the biggest movie monsters (and aliens and creatures) in recent history. He made the T-rex in Jurassic Park, the aliens in Aliens, the Terminator, and more recently Iron Man. Pretty cool stuff. The following is a link to a video made by the guys at JoBlo.com that shows some of Winston's work.

Andy and Yoriko

My cousin just got married this past weekend and this was their gift from me. Hope it's better than a toaster.

Two videos (not mine)

Here are two pretty great videos. The first I found on www.funnyordie.com and the second has apparently been around for a while (nearly 30 million views!) but it is fairly new to me. I like that Charlie looks a lot like Curly from the Three Stooges.

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... "

Well, I'm back after a long hiatus. It's not a great drawing and the coloring was done quickly in Photoshop so it's a bit sloppy. This had been on my to-do list for quite some time and I just wanted to get it done and get to some other drawings. Anyway, that's all for now. I'll try to keep up on the blog more consistently.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall video

I haven't posted in forever and I'm studying for a test tomorrow, but here is a video promoting the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Moe and I got to see a sneak preview and it's a pretty hilarious movie (and heartwarming to boot!). In the movie, the main character's girlfriend dumps him to go out with a famous jackass singer, lead singer for a band called Infant Sorrow. The following is one of the character's music videos.

"What are you lookin' at, butthead?"

This is the logo which will hopefully adorn the background of a drawing I am working on...on which I am working...whatever. I'm not done with the main drawing and, to be honest, this didn't come out as I'd hoped. It was fine on paper but went weird when I scanned it into Illustrator. Oh well, lesson learned. Anyway, not very timely (no pun intended), but it's one of my favorite movies, so back off! Final drawing soon!
